A New Post

Actually, I am talking about the new post on my Small Mustard Seed blog (see the link on the bottom left-side). It's been a long while since I've written anything there... of recent, I've just felt God pushing me to write in it but I've felt so inadequate. I'm reminded that no matter what I do, if I'm doing my best and surrendering it to His power, it will succeed. Maybe not in my idea of succeeding, but it's His idea, not mine :-)

Anyway, so yeah, it's there and I hope that many of you are inspired and challenged by it as I was and continue to be. Of late, my life has just been all about planning and fixing things, trying to make things better and getting out of messes I've gotten myself into. I realize that I have not been putting my time and energy into what God has wanted me to, even though I still don't know what that looks like. And I'm changing my prayers today; Instead of asking for solutions to my problems, I'm going to ask for peace in my circumstances. Trying to figure things out is STRESSFUL and usually doesn't come to any benefit! 

So, all this to say that if you are struggling, you are not alone! I want so badly for my kids to see God in me and not the need for God in me... does that make sense? 

Well, Asher is officially too big for the seat I usually put him in while I shower. My shower got cut short when he tipped the chair over and landed head first on the tile... he's going to have quite the bruise! Poor kiddo :-( I have no clue what I'll do with him while I take showers now... I am looking forward to moving and having a completely babyproof room for him! Be praying for the house search... we won't be moving until February but we'll need to line up a place that will work for us for the next few years. 

Love you all!
